AVAESEN, together with 8 other European entities, were partners in the ECOTOUR project, funded by the European Union through the Lifelong Learning Program 2014, Action: Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of Innovation.
ECOTOUR established the bases for the creation of the Integral Energy Manager in the European tourism sector, transferring the ECVET European professional qualification system to energy management in the hotel sector. The transnational mobility of energy managers in the tourism sector will be carried out through the network of partners participating in the project.
The consortium was made up of university foundations, technological institutes, regional authorities, tourism associations and associations of the energy sector from Romania, Austria, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Finland. The project favored the exchange of learning methodologies and innovative principles from the secondary sector to the tourism industry in order to develop new competencies related to energy management in the sector.
